[Verse 1]
D
Down in Appalachia, way back in those hills,
G D
You can make a livin’ in the mines, or with a moonshine still,
D
The choice it ain’t easy, brother don’t ‘ya know,
G D
Either one, can get you killed, the whiskey or the coal,
[Chorus]
D
The whiskey or the coal, which way will ‘ya go,
G D
One will break your body, the other scars your soul,
D
You can take your chances in the mine, dodging those rock falls,
G D
Or spend your time, runnin’ shine dodgin’ bullets and the law,
[Banjo Break]
D D G D (2x)
[Verse 2]
D
The mine's an honest livin, that’s what people say,
G D
If ‘ya don’t die young, ole’ black lung will take your breath away,
D
Moonshine still ain’t legal, back up in those hills,
G D
But they ran shine before the mines and they probably always will,
[Chorus]
D
The whiskey or the coal, which way will ‘ya go,
G D
One will break your body, the other scars your soul,
D
You can take your chances in the mine, dodging those rock falls,
G D
Or spend your time, runnin’ shine dodgin’ bullets and the law,
[Fiddle Break]
D D G D (2x)
[Verse 3]
D
Sherriff just – sent you word, we’re gonna” shut you down,
G D
Said you better mind, you can’t run shine, outa’ my hometown,
D
You send back your answer, be shut in when you're gone,
G D
Don’t be so high and mighty, you have three stills of your own,
[Chorus]
D
The whiskey or the coal, which way will ‘ya go,
G D
One will break your body, the other scars your soul,
D
You can take your chances in the mine, dodging those rock falls,
G D
Or spend your time, runnin’ shine dodgin’ bullets and the law,
G D
Or spend your time, runnin’ shine dodgin’ bullets and the law,
[Fiddle Outro]
